|
| I am on a medication that has a side effect of weight gain...3 years ago I weighed 150, but ive gained 30lbs since the start of my medication...I'm not really out of shape, I play a D1 sport, but i know i carry unnecessary weight on me (5'9 180lbs)...I'm trying to lose weight but I think its harder b/c of the medicine or something...I do weight training for my sport 2x a week, and do cardio on my own (running/elliptical) 4-5x a week....but i've still lost nothing! I eat as healthy as I can for a college student & I don't drink/smoke...what else can i do?!? |

| If the medicine is what caused the weight gain, you might not be able to take it off. With all that you are doing, it should have come off if it was going to. The medicine probably keeps it on. When you burn some off, the medicine puts it back on. |

| Losing weight is a combination of excercise and nutrition. In order to shed pounds you need a calorie deficit, meaning burning more calories in a day than you take in. This means you need to count your cals. Even though you may eat healthy foods, if you consume too much, you will maintain or add weight.In addition, you need a minimum number of calories every day. Generally, it is around 14-15 times your bodyweight. If you don't meet this, your body will think that you are starving, and store every calorie.You seem to have the excercise part down. At some point, people plateau in their weight loss. When this happens, you need to raise the intensity. That meaning running for longer distances or a quicker pace, or implementing different types of cardio: maybe try rowing or stair climbing. I'm not sure what to suggest in regard to the medication. Would your doctor suggest a fat burner or hoodia supplement that might help? |

| I would suggest a cleansing diet. I did this and lost 12 pounds and 17 inches in 9 days and then 28 pounds in about a month. I like the program since it works by giving your body nutrition through protein shakes with digestive enzymes and vitamins and then cleansing out the toxins. We get toxins in our bodies from pesticides, preservatives, water, pollution, medications, food additives etc…. These toxins enter our bodies and get coated with fat. To remove the extra fat, we need to get rid of the toxins through cleansing. The program also has a natural diet pill to help your metabolism and curb cravings. It works and it works fast. I lost 30 pounds in 5 weeks and I feel great. My skin has improved as well from the cleansing. You can get more info at this toll free number 1-877-587-4647. I think cleansing is really important to health and weight loss. Give it a try and good luck! http://thebestcleansingdiet.com |
